This is now my favorite Sophie Kinsella book. It was hilarious, heartbreaking, swoon-worthy - I really, really enjoyed it.
Even though I've noticed that Kinsella usually follows certain patterns with her characters and stories, this was still such an enjoyable read. I liked Emma as a main character and I also liked the way certain things in the story progressed.
The last 60 - 70 pages I was quite anxious about how it was going to end and even got a bit teary-eyed!

Audio-I was not expecting to laugh myself to tears, not even expecting to really even finish this book. I read it looking to expand my reading pool after a friends fantastic recommendation. it was the funniest book I think I've ever read. I was laughing so hard at time I got loads of weird looks from people while walking my dogs. Oh, well I am the crazy laughing women. The narrator for this book has a dream voice.
Emma, a sweet young women working her way up in a corporation. She tries so hard really, she deserves a promotion. Only her bosses and coworkers don't see it that way. She get a chance to prove herself. There is a vey important client she is to meet with, simple. No, she drifts into her mind-scape of dreams and loses focus. When she realizes what happening she bumbles and has to fly home with another blow to her ego and her career. Oh, god she has to fly, she is terrified to fly. She drinks to calm her nerves before the flight and is feeling it. A turn of luck ups her flight status and puts her in business class where they serve more drinks. This flight changes her life- snow ball down the hill. She spills her life's secrets to a stranger, every little intimate detail. Yes, everyone ! but it's okay right ? She'll never see him again. LOL sure, right, yep.

I loved this book so so much. I have never had such a physical reaction to reading a book in my whole life. I laughed and cried and cringed my way though this whole thing and it was such a fun journey. An incredibly fun read.

Meh. The story was actually OK but it could probably have been half the length. I felt I was halfway through the book before the story even really began. It had it's moments but I mostly just finished it for the sake of finishing it.
